In order to do so, the multiple scientific and ethical issues related to pharmacogenomic research were reviewed. Scientometric and technometric analyses were performed to provide a quantitative evaluation of Canada's performance in this field relative to that of the world and ...

Supporting Large-Scale Computational Science

Business needs have driven the development of commercial database systems since their inception. As a result, there has been a strong focus on supporting many users, minimizing the potential corruption or loss of data, and maximizing performance metrics like transactions per second, or TPC-C and TPC-D results. It turns out that these optimizations have little to do with the needs of the scienti...

Kitchen Chemistry: Supporting Learners’ Decisions in Science

Students often find science to be disconnected from their everyday lives. One reason for this disengagement is that learners are often not given the chance to choose how to pursue their personal goals using science reasoning. Therefore, we are creating science programs that emphasize life-relevant learning the ability to engage science learners in the context of achieving their own goals. We de...
